Bespoke Workbenches
We’ve all heard the phrase “A worker is only as good as his tools.”
That's why the tools used to facilitate good work and enable your employees to do their job well should never be overlooked.
A bespoke workbench will be the foundation to a myriad of work-related improvements, from improved performance, greater wellbeing, to enhanced productivity.
While industrial workbench designs have become more sophisticated in recent years, most workplaces still require the autonomy and flexibility associated with a configurable solution.
And at RK Rose + Krieger, we might just have the answer for you.
A solution for every scenario
At RK Rose+Krieger, we like to differentiate ourselves from the ordinary supplier. We’ll provide you with support for your optimisation plans by constructing your workstations, shelves or transport trolleys in accordance with your lean concepts and ergonomic principles so that they are adapted ideally to the process, material and personnel. And we’ve created the tools that define a simple, and easy process.
Not every production process can be automated in a practical manner. And RK bespoke workbenches can be customised to meet individual requirements and optimally tailored to the respective workflows.
Our configurable, tailored service enables you to design an industrial workbench that is suited to the environment and requirements of your individual; one that can be designed to fit into a particular space if you are limited or operate in an unconventional space.

Case Study - Two Bespoke Workbenches & Material Feed Trolleys
Here’s how the RK Easywork Selection Assistant can be used to generate fast and accurate results for bespoke workbenches:
This customer used the Online selection assistant, so we knew exactly what they required without the need for a site visit. This significantly reduced lead time.
They were contacted and informed that the bespoke workbenches would be designed and submitted along with costing for approval.
The brief contained two workbenches and two material feed trolleys. They needed lockable cabinets as well as a hinged arm for mounting of a HMI screen. The material feed trolleys needed to operate on wheels as their functionality required them to be wheeled behind the workbenches with the components on, ready for the operator to then assemble on the bench. They also needed shelving.
This design was to support the development of a brand new product, so the customer informed us that changes were likely once they had arrived on site. After a few weeks of use, some adjustments were required as predicted by the customer.
This involved an extra (tilted) shelf to be added to the workbench. Using our extensive range of aluminium extrusion (Blocan) products we were able to satisfy the customer needs in not only adding the extra shelf that needed to be tilted, but one that could also be raised, lowered and also moved backwards or forwards depending on where required. This allowed for full flexibility.
Additionally, the customer required the ‘packing bench’ to be fitted with some shelving to accommodate different sized cardboard boxes for ease of storage.
For both of the modifications the shelf and packing modules were pre-assembled and shipped for the customer to fit themselves.
